Wii Controller Guide?
The Wii Remote (also called a Wiimote ) consists of many cool features such as:-
Accelerometers
The main component is an Accelerometer (a device used to measure acceleration) They sence not only accelerometers but also vibration, speed, and inclination.
These abilities are extremely useful when creating wireless remote control, for a console game! And the Wii Remote actually contains more than one accelerometer, this makes it capable of sensing acceleration and movement on multiple planes. The Nunchuk also contains an accelerometer!.
Force Feedback
Force feedback gives the Wii Remote’s an ability to vibrate during game play, this ability allows the remote to move in hand during game play. This feedback also allows user to subconsciously make adjustments during game play!
Sound
Although some people have switched off the the built-in speaker on the Wii Remote, this is quiet a useful feature, engrossing the player even more during game play. Some games even use the speaker as an addition to the game and require you to place the remote close to your ear to listen to instructions on how to proceed.
